Back In The Saddle/Welcome Back To Buffalo!

September 12, 2008

I got back into town yesterday afternoon around 4 o’clock via Southwest airlines after five insane days in cripplingly humid Las Vegas at the luxurious Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort Hotel. Myself and Curt (my roomate and subsequent co-host) managed to get one episode down for the radio show which is going to transmogrify into the historically epic Big Words One Man Mobile Unit episode 10 some time within the next few days. I should have pictures up on Myspace by tomorrow night at the latest. I was a very busy photog while I was out there. Home again, home again, jiggety jig.

It’s good to be back. I’m in the home stretch on the wedding and autumn is kicking in, which is traditionally a fantastic time of year for me, weather and otherwise. In three weeks, we’ll be soaking up the sun at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina in the heart of the resort community for the honeymoon and hobnobbing on the Grand Strand during a competing Biker Week at the House of Blues among other things. Hopefully I can get another podcast down during that, too.

In classic Murphy’s Law fashion, ‘Our People’ (the rant about my new inlaws) ran in the Buffalo News My View section on Tuesday while I was out of town. If anyone still has Tuesday’s copy of the Buffalo News, I would truly appreciate a copy of the print run.

Hennessey’s Bar and Grill on Broadway review ran this morning in the new issue of Gusto in the Buffalo News this morning. Scoop it up if you’d like.

And finally, the first 20 copies of Breathing Room vol. I: Free Verse are en route via UPS as we speak. The layout couldn’t look any more perfect. Nick Peterson did a phenomenal job on the internal mechanisms for the book and I’m really excited about gearing up for the upcoming promotional junket! If you’re interested in obtaining a signed copy of the book, contact me poste haste as there is a week delay in ordering/receiving more copies.

That’s all the news that’s fit to print for one day. I’ll holler back on Monday for the routine update with any more developments. Thank god I’m back in Buffalo. Vegas is too crazy for me and there are too many opportunities for trouble out there, so it’s comforting to be back home. Talk to you soon,
